i have a question
Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
It won't do that. But good psychotherapy will/might (and will cost less unless you long term psychoanalysis)? But so good could self help books, religion or missionary work, traveling, etc,

Get a degree in a field in which you'd like to work. If you're currently taking classes, then take a couple of psychology classes. A degree only for self-discovery isn't worth the expense.

And can anyone give advice about books for nooby?
Iirc, psychology majors have the second highest unemployment rate. So it would seem like a silly thing to spend 5 figures in tuition for self knowledge just to hamper your employment. A fraction of that would buy a lot of psychotherapy.
Self help books I like:
Wherever you go there you are.
I never knew I had a choice
The 60 second shrink

I guess the question is, are you independently wealthy? I mean, if I were rich, and had no need to work ever again, I might collect degrees. I enjoyed my college coursework.
However, if you just want to embark on some self-discovery while learning some psychology, I'd suggest maybe a few courses at a local community college and engaging in some dynamic oriented therapy of some sort possibly.

If you're interested in psych in general, I second the idea of signing up for some community college classes, but you might also consider finding some intro to psych books (an edition or 2 out of date to keep it cheap) and peruse it to see what interests you most, then go from there. Or a counseling textbook. That might give you a broad overview and then you can have a better idea of more specifically what interests you.
I want to clarify that you can have education in my country almost for free
Its not so expensive as in US

Money isnt the only type of cost. Opportunity costs, for instance, are still there.
